Here's an image I just shot out on the deck real quick (between the ubiquitous rain drops):
I really like the color that Ken Coats came up with even though it's not an exact match. In real life it is a bit more brown than the Case but still wonderful imho.
The jigging is different than Case jigging at my request.
I agree with elliot, and Charlie...those two knives are absolute stunners!! I love the jigging on the top one especially!

Why thank you, Duncan. Ken Coats calls that his "winterbottom" jig.

Well in this case, it came from the Waynorth General Store.
Charlie was kind enough to send it in exchange for an older vintage knife I'd sent him a couple years back.

I have a feeling the Waynorth General store has quite a selection
I'd say Ken did good on the coloring. It looks great. I like jigging that goes all the way to the bolsters.
Heck Case had a lot of variation in their red bones, so IMHO there is no right or wrong. Unless we included the current offerings of Case red bone :barf: Sorry, no offense meant to those that like it...
I like Kens variation of Winterbottom. When I hear that term I always think of the Queen versions. I never could develop a liking for theirs

Ken Coats does bone as well or better than the older CASEs. Both of those are beauties.
Here is a dark red peachseed bone 881 Schrade Walden I just grabbed off youknowwhere for $28. Blades are scratched up and someone touched the sheepfoot with a wheel but then decided better, I guess. The handles are perfect.

A 1981 orginal genuine Cargill made Cripple Creek Stockman.
Greg
Nice one, Greg!
One of my all time favorite CC Stock knives produced by Bob. :thumbup:
Here is my other favorite in 5 blades..
PS{Charlie, this round shield was just after the Oak Leaf(Cargill) and just prior to the Three Legged Buffalo shield.)

That is correct Anthony. They are rare and very sought after. Those little 5 bladers are a real treat ain't they. I believe the overall closed length is about 3 3/8 inches.
Greg
Charlie, we posted at about the same time. Yes, Anthony's 5 blader is a 81 and all the ones I have are as well. No date in the circle and the CC shield pretty much narrows it down to being a 81. There are some '81's, possibly early '82, with the buffalo shield too. There were only a few patterns made in 82 that didn't have the dated tang stamp. Cargill was pretty busy making the Knife World anual knife about then. About 2000 of them. Actually, any 82 made CC is pretty rare outiside of the Knife World knives. There were only about 25 stag trappers built in 82 for a knife club and any others would probably be even less in number. Like I said, all his time was devoted to the Knife World knives in that time period and there wasn't much time to build much of anything else.
